Perhaps they do, but they're installed on cars with GIANT battery banks to power the units. We're talking about an antique tractor here with a single relatively small 12V battery, and a charging system barely adequate to replenish the starting battery after hours of run time, IF it is working properly.
Anything like that on the old tractor would drain the battery in about 15 minutes, and burn out the generator/alternator. Just not practical.
Household units are not designed to hammer across a dusty field, so not really a practical solution either. They just won't last long, and getting 110VAC power for them presents the same challenges as an automotive unit off an electric car. The inverter plan is hard on batteries and alternators. The generator plan is another engine to maintain.
If simply increasing airflow with bus fans isn't enough, look into "swamp cooler" technology. Early tractor cabs had them before AC matured and became practical, and they're cheap and easy to build yourself.
